For his follow-up to In Search of Mozart, British documentarian Phil Grabsky crafts an absorbing portrait of our old friend Ludwig Van using the composer's sublime works as chronological signposts. Musicians and critics dish information and insights about the solitary, furrowed-brow genius, but it's the 50-plus performances of his epochal compositions that leave the spectator thunderstruck. Grabsky recorded across Europe and North America, capturing a lineup that includes Frans Brüggen, Sir Roger Norrington, Gianandrea Noseda, and other luminaries. Here's to In Search of Mahler for the near future.
